[QUOTE="dun, post: 1237365, member: 34"] I've always looked on that as a great fallacy. I cow doesn;t know what a mineral tastes like so how can they "know" what they need. They'll eat what they like. That's why salt is added to stuff as either an appetite enhancement (they'll eat more) or a limiter (they'll eat less). If they really knew what the needed there wouldn;t be a problem getting them to eat magnesium to prevent grass tetany. Magnesium is bitter so the mineral companys add something palatable to hide it.
